Some trees need more than regular trimming or pruning to stay safe and healthy. When branches grow heavy, trunks split, or storms put extra strain on trees, they can become dangerous. At West Coast Tree Service by TimberTEKS, we provide professional tree cabling and bracing services in Vancouver WA, Portland OR, and surrounding areas to strengthen weak trees and extend their life.
đź•‘ What Is Tree Cabling & Bracing?
Tree cabling and bracing are support systems designed to stabilize trees at risk of failure:
- Tree Cabling – Involves installing strong steel cables high in the canopy to reduce strain and movement in large branches.
- Tree Bracing – Uses threaded rods or braces lower in the trunk to provide internal support and prevent splitting.
Together, these methods help protect your property, reduce hazards, and preserve valuable trees that might otherwise need removal.
⚠️ When Do Trees Need Cabling or Bracing?
You may need tree cabling or bracing if your tree shows signs of:
- A split or cracked trunk
- Weak branch unions (two large branches growing in a “V” shape)
- Heavy limbs extending over roofs, driveways, or walkways
- Trees that sway excessively in high winds
- Large, historic, or valuable trees you want to preserve
Our ISA-certified arborists can inspect your trees and determine whether cabling and bracing is the best solution.
